Skills-based hiring is establishing itself as a measurable lever for HR performance. More than nine out of ten recruitment professionals believe that accurately assessing a candidate's skills is essential to improving hiring quality.
The data confirms this: companies that use skills-based searches the most have a 12% higher chance of making a quality hire. Artificial intelligence also supports this trend: recruiters who use AI-assisted messaging have a 9% higher chance of making a quality hire than those who use it the least.
For a candidate, this confirms the importance of structuring their profile around specific and verifiable skills rather than just job titles.
